Selfmade guitars and basses
Boulder 1, lapsteel with a neck made from a plywood plank which was gleud to a fully hollow body made from a champagne crate and could be amplified through a single coil pickup at the bridge. Amazingly, it worked. – scrapped
Boulder 2. lapsteel similar to boulder one apart from having a large center positioned rectangular soundhole. Vibrato tailpiece made from a small piece of plywood glued onto two washing pins. – still have it.
Boulder 3. Similar to boulder 1 save for being a fully functional hollow body electric guitar. It had a neck coming from an old Les Paul copy. – Got damaged beyond repair. Neck used for Boulder 6.
Boulder 4 Bass version of the Boulder 3. Neck from a cheap fender bass copy. It didn’t work out, the thing collapsed under the strain of the pull of the bass strings. – scrapped

Julie. Green Strat named after a cousin of mine who died because of gunfire. Solid mahogany body, Dimarzio pickup. When I started working with Knooren, I completely rebuilt this one as a shorst scale bass. I fitted the body with a bookmatched striped maple top. And refinished it natural. – Gave it to a friend of mine who wanted to learn how to play bass.
Sandra. Tele shaped solidbody made for my then girlfriend, I guess she still has it. – gave it away
Nylon string strat shaped solid. The first guitar I made when joining Knooren handcrafed in 1998. it has a basswood body with a mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard. – I still have it
Tele-V A.K.A. “The Pizza slice”. Second guitar I made after I joined Knooren. Made from an offset triangle shaped left over piece of very beautifully figured maple.

Accoustic
